Economic Fascism and the Bailout Economy

I have lived through three monumental historical events. I remember only two of them.

I do not remember the dropping of the two atomic bombs in August of 1945. As symbols of scientific world transformation, this constituted the most momentous event of the 20th century. This breakthrough, so far, has not led to nuclear war, even though on several occasions, it looked as though nuclear war was a distinct possibility. Nevertheless, the arrival of the nuclear age heralded a transformation of the modern world. We have not yet seen the end of that transformation.

We do not even USE nuclear power seriously, and not just in a military sense.

The “greenest” energy source around, and the engine of our progress for centuries to come, would be the harnessing of nuclear power for distilling water, generating electricity, and warming our icecaps, releasing huge amounts of fresh water. You want to reverse climate change? Make the Sahara into a rain forest, by setting up a number of nuclear distilling plants, converting the waters of the east Atlantic and Mediterranean into a bed of dried salt and water vapor that is recovered and sent coursing across the Sahara, providing the flow of water necessary to restore a rain forest that would rival the Congo or the Amazon.

The bed of minerals recovered from the salt include every element on earth, even gold. Plus there are the benefits of having a “natural” source of body electrolytes. The cells in your body contain a dilute solution of what once made up the composition of the ocean, and your very bodily functions are all based on the balance of these electrolytes.
